Your Age-Your First Ford-What You Learned To Drive On-Your Rangers Year!

[hthomas49]

My ex bought me a 1949 F-1 pickup for my 21st birthday and I was born in 1949. I used it mainly to haul my dirt bike. Lots of fun memories of that time period. It was painted competition orange and had no frills.

I am 36 and my first car was a 1995 Saturn SL (manual with no power steering/windows/locks)

My first ford was a 1999 Escort ZX2. I loved that car. It handled so well with a drop and a few suspension upgrades.

I'm physically 71 but psychologically and mentally 17. My first Ford was a '95 Ranger. Then I had a 2000 Ranger and now the 2020 Ranger Lariat which I bought new and is probably the best vehicle I've ever owned. Before the 3 Rangers I bought a new '75 Chevy Caprice convertible in 1976...the last of the full-sized American convertibles. Let's just say it was "an attractive car" for a 26 year old living in L.A. in the 70s to own. I drove it every day for 20 years. It became expensive to keep. Before that I bought a '67 MGB in 1970. That was a beautiful piece of machinery but the only way to own it was to learn automotive mechanics and do a lot of self maintenance. I do wish I still had that little cutie.

50, and not happy about it.

First vehicle was a 1969 Ford Bronco. Black, beefed up 302, leather diamond tuck interior. Got it from a family friend who used to race rail cars. My heart still goes pitter patter when I hear or see one.

First Ranger was 1990 4x4 Extended cab. Had to sell it for downpayment on a house.

2nd ranger was a 1992 2wd for work purposes.

Now, 2021 Scab Lariat. I'm working my way back to the Bronco...?

Thought I would start a different thread that might be fun!
My age is 67
My first Ford was a 1957 Ford Custom 300 that I got at 13 and 1/2 years old to drive around my grandparent's farm.
I learned to drive on a Farmall Super A tractor at age 10.
My 2022 Ranger XLT Tremor is still being shipped, so I hope to have it in by next week, fingers crossed!

How about y'all ???

Just turned 73 & driving a 2021 Ranger XLT. My 6th Ranger! My first ride was a beautiful burgundy 1953 Ford Customline 2 dr sedan. Flathead V8, 3 on the tree with a clock & push button radio. I was 16 at the time & paid $200 for it. I should’ve kept it!

I'm not a Ford fanboi, but I have owned quite a few.

My first one was a Ford Exploder. I've had two Exploders (Late 90s gen and late 2000s gen). Then a ton of Mustangs.

The 1961-1966 gen Ford pickup was a handsome generation for sure.

Another 63 year old here.

Learned to drive in a 71 Ford Econoline Van with a 302 and a Ford LTD 500. My dad and mom had a heavy foot! She drove the family van without power steering!

First car was a 73 Capri and then a 78 Fiesta. Wife had a '65 Mustang.
Had an 91 Explorer, 98 Expedition, 08 Escape and 3 F150's until I didn't think I needed a truck then a 2002 Mustang GT. Honda 750 CBK Motorcycle overlapped a few of the vehicles.
Got the Ranger in 2019 after missing a truck for 6 years.

A few of them.

I really liked the Sport Trac, especially with the 4.6L. The new Ranger Super Crew Cab is the better vehicle, having benefitted from time and technology.
